I'm ok with the Pirelli's crapping out but only when they did. Pirelli had given the teams notice that the medium? tire was good for 30 laps. Bottas had his issues on lap 35ish.

On the other hand if the tires gave up on lap 20 I would have a different opinion.

The reprimand or whatever given to Christian Horner, an honorary Spice Girl, is total nonsense. I watched the pre-race where they were talking about the grid penalty. He didn't say the marshal was rogue. What he was saying was the totality of the circumstance needed to be considered to include whether the marshal was an outlier in the situation. Not that the guy was rogue in the vein of just showing double yellow for the sake of ruining a particular driver's lap.

Also, Horner's analysis of how Bottas did same and Sainz did a slight lift but each got a different penalty, or none in Sainz case, was spot on. It was a crazy situation. DRS light on, green track, yellow then double yellow, and the green light in pit lane visible as well. Maybe it falls on the FIA and not a driver or two.
